In the clearest signal yet of U.S. unhappiness with the rightward tilt of Japan’s political leadership — and by extension, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe — the U.S. embassy in Tokyo has strongly condemned charges by a top official at Japan’s national public broadcaster that Americans fabricated war crimes against Japanese leaders during World War II in order to cover up American atrocities.
The charges were made this week by Naoki Hyakuta, a nationalist writer and close friend of Abe, who was recently appointed to the board of governors of the Japan Broadcasting Corp., commonly known as NHK.
In campaign speeches on behalf of a far-right candidate for the governorship of Tokyo, Hyakuta claimed that the infamous Nanjing Massacre in 1937 never occurred, and that Americans staged the postwar trials of Japanese leaders to cover up U.S. war crimes. He said those crimes included the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and the mass firebombings of Tokyo.

That asshole should be hung next to where Tojo was.
When I was is Hawaii and Guam last year.
I found that many of the Japanese tourist franky didn’t know very much about WW2 in general.
I guess the really don’t treach it over there.

They teach it but I read someone else who stated it well. I think it was here on FR. They learn, “One day, for reasons we never fully understood, America began dropping atomic bombs on us”.
One of the most liberal mouthpieces in the world is putting this out - and expecting the response they're getting. Seems 'liberals' have aligned themselves with Communist China.
I also 'shutter' to think what's going to happen in the next few years.

I think the citizens of Nanking would disagree.

They gloss over a lot of it.
Yep, and they didn't have a nuclear meltdown either...
Nations that eat their Prisoners of War can never be considered to be civilized
